hi here is my answer,

Well, a man named Juan Ponce De Leon was very important. He was a Spanish nobleman. He had heard rumors about the Fountain of Youth so he wanted to find it. He set sail and he landed on Florida. He had no luck in finding it, but he decided to settle there. He came back from Spain with 250 men and 50 horses but he was defeated by the Native Americans. SO he was very important to Florida. And I know this because of a school project.

Florida was the 27th US State. Because it had been a Spanish Colony and because of issues caused by runaway slave and the Seminole Indian Wars numerous other states got a jump-start in the process of Statehood. Maine, Missouri, Arkansas and Michigan, in that order preceeded Florida and Texas, Iowa, Wisconsin and California in that order reached Statehood within 5 years of Florida's entry. There was an eight year gap between Michigan and Florida's entry.

Today Florida is much more than beaches and Spring Break, Oranges, Disney World, Cape Canaveral, Sportsfishing, the Miami Dolphins and Little Havana. It was a hard sell to the US Congress as a chunck of pest infested, gator covered Spanish swamp that had to offer in the way of Manifest Destiny except as a missing spot on the jigsaw puzzle that would become the United States.

Florida gained statehood on March 3, 1845. Florida is bordered to the west by the Gulf of Mexico, to the north by Alabama and Georgia, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, and to the south by the Straits of Florida.

Spanish minister Do Luis de Onis and U.S. Secretary of State John Quincy Adams sign the Florida Purchase Treaty, in which Spain agrees to cede the remainder of its old province of Florida to the United States.

Spanish colonization of the Florida peninsula began at St. Augustine in 1565. The Spanish colonists enjoyed a brief period of relative stability before Florida came under attack from resentful Native Americans and ambitious English colonists to the north in the 17th century. Spain's last-minute entry into the French and Indian War on the side of France cost it Florida, which the British acquired through the first Treaty of Paris in 1763. After 20 years of British rule, however, Florida was returned to Spain as part of the second Treaty of Paris, which ended the American Revolution in 1783.

Spain's hold on Florida was tenuous in the years after American independence, and numerous boundary disputes developed with the United States. In 1819, after years of negotiations, Secretary of State John Quincy Adams achieved a diplomatic coup with the signing of the Florida Purchase Treaty, which officially put Florida into U.S. hands at no cost beyond the U.S. assumption of some $5 million of claims by U.S. citizens against Spain. Formal U.S. occupation began in 1821, and General Andrew Jackson, the hero of the War of 1812, was appointed military governor. Florida was organized as a U.S. territory in 1822 and was admitted into the Union as a slave state in 1845.

The largest population of Native Indians in Florida is the Miccosukee Indian Tribe. They are descendants of the Lower Chiaha, a Muskogee Creek tribe, and have had centuries of relations with the Seminole.
